Jack O'Connell wearing a green hat in Lady Chatterly's Lover
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Jack O'Connell is riding a major wave in Hollywood. Hot off landing a juicy villain role in Ryan Coogler's upcoming project, O'Connell's next big move will be joining the cast of 28 Years Later, the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic 28 Days Later.
The legendary Danny Boyle is back in the director's chair, teaming up once again with screenwriter Alex Garland to bring us back to their nightmarish vision of a zombie apocalypse. The first film in this new trilogy is generating a lot of buzz, and while details are still under wraps, we can expect the same gripping tension and heart-pounding action that made the original a genre-defining hit.
After proving his mettle in various dramatic roles, O'Connell's character is tipped to start as a supporting presence in the first movie before taking on a more central role in the sequel. With Candyman's Nia DaCosta slated to direct the second installment and plans to shoot both films back-to-back, it's clear Sony is doubling down on making this revival a cinematic event.
Exploring the Legacy of the 28 Days Later Series 28 Days Later is often credited with redefining the zombie film genre by introducing the concept of fast-moving zombies. The film opens with a group of animal liberation activists breaking into a research facility to free chimpanzees that are infected with a virus known as "Rage." This virus rapidly spreads among humans, causing societal collapse.
The sequel, 28 Weeks Later, picks up six months after the events of the first film. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, it shows NATO and the U.S. Army declaring the infection under control and beginning the reconstruction of Britain. The story focuses on a family reunited but later torn apart by a carrier of the rage virus who unwittingly reignites the deadly infection.
